Roasted Asparagus with Garlic-Lemon Sauce
Roasted asparagus is delicious drizzled with a sauce inspired by Caesar salad dressing. Low-fat mayonnaise makes the sauce creamy without a lot of extra calories or fat. Dress up the dish with chopped hard-boiled eggs or leave them out if you’re in a hurry.
INGREDIENTS
• 2 bunches asparagus, (about 2 pounds), trimmed
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 anchovy fillets, minced
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs, (optional; see Tip)
PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Toss asparagus with oil and salt in a large bowl. Spread on a baking sheet and roast, stirring once halfway through, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Combine mayonnaise, Parmesan, water, anchovies, garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl. To serve, drizzle the asparagus with the sauce and top with hard-boiled egg (if using).
Yum!
